Sky Kid is a horizontally-scrolling shooter that was first released in the Arcade in 1985.
+ Wide range of enemy types with unique attack patterns keeps you on your toes and guessing as to what lies ahead.+ Gameplay includes a nice risk-reward element where you can loop near certain objects to collect bonus points.
+ Your inability to perform a loop once you've obtained up a bomb puts you in a perilous state that adds to the intensity.
- Despite the cutesy art style, the challenge is brutal and it's puzzling why some difficulty options weren't added.
- The minor layout changes aren't enough to keep the action from feeling stale and repetitive after the first few stages.
- No power-ups are on offer, so you're constantly stuck with a weapon that only covers a limited part of the screen.
- The music is catchy, but the short loops and ear-piercing sound effects grate on you very quickly.
